Abstract
Es wird ein Verfahren beschrieben, um das Auftreten von Metallkondensaten auf den Wänden eines Vakuumbogenschmelzgefäßes oberhalb eines Metallschmelzepools praktisch zu eliminieren. Das Verfahren ist durch die Stufe gekennzeichnet, daß man eine Atmosphäre eines nichtkondensierbaren Gases in dem Gefäß oberhalb des Metallschmelzepools während des Schmelzvorgangs vorsieht.A method is described for practically eliminating the occurrence of metal condensates on the walls of a vacuum arc melting vessel above a molten metal pool. The process is characterized by the step of providing an atmosphere of a non-condensable gas in the vessel above the molten metal pool during the melting process.

Der Tiegel kann evakuiert und eine Atmosphäre von 20% Helium und 80% Argon bei einem Druck von30 arc furnace with a consumable electrode can be named.

Er ist praktisch von »weißen Flecken« frei.The invention relates to methods of introducing vacuum light 10 mm Hg into the crucible.

Beim Vakuumlichtbogenschmelzen von Superlegierungen, wie Inco 718, besteht ein Problem, das sich in
Form von »weißen Flecken« in dem gegossenen Block 40
und dem nachfolgenden Barren oder daraus hergestellten Produkt beim Anätzen des Metalls zeigt. Das Material,
das diese »weißen Flecken« bewirkt, ist als ein
»shelf« oder Metallkondensat identifiziert worden, daß
sich auf dem kalten Kupfertiegel oberhalb der Schmelze 45
bildet. Dieses Kondensat bricht periodisch von der kalten Wand ab unf fällt in die Metallschmelze hinein. Der
Schmelzpool muß daher in relativ ruhigem Zustand gehalten werden, damit die Bildung einer agglomerierten
Lavesphase Ni2Cb, die sich während des Erstarrens der 50
Metallschmelze bildet, verhindert wird. Das Ni2CB ist
erheblich schwerer als das Matrixmetall und kann am
Boden des Metallpools agglomerieren. Es kann als eine
sehr klebrige Flüssigkeit angesehen werden, die am Boden des Pools ziemlich ähnlich wie Wasser am Boden 55
eines Benzinkanisters herumrollen kann. Wenn das
Ni2Cb agglomeriert, dann zeigt sich die resultierende
Abscheidung in Form von großen schwarzen Flecken
beim Ätzen. Es ist daher wichtig, einen ruhigen Pool
aufrechtzuerhalten, was eine Magnetrührung oder son- 60

Melt pool must therefore be kept in a relatively calm state so that the formation of an agglomerated
